I wish some bootlegger would just print a full anniversary style collection of alpha/beta cards, either with counterfeit back or some alternate. Know I could technically do it myself but I'd rather drop some cash on some secondary proxy maker and get it all together from them. All Magic cards are real Magic cards in a sleeve, printer origin and cardbacks are a fake idea.

actual counterfeiters likely wouldn't find it worth the bother b/c their business is selling cardboard for $1-3/card and I don't think there'd be enough takers for $300 sets to be worth the effort to create the Purelaces of the world

but there are businesses out there that will happily Make Playing Cards for you at professional quality (with alternate backs + clearly marked as proxies) for only slightly more effort than clicking "buy" on a website - I'd say it'd cost you about $83.55-97.95+shipping depending on the quality of the cardstock you select (or ~twice that if you want to bling them out in foil

Don't know how odd this is, but I was at MCM Comicon in the UK this weekend just gone, and out of about 100 stalls there was one single one with MTG cards and those were just regular current set booster packs.

Loads of stalls had Pokemon cards and the one stall that had binders and singles was rammed full.

Now there’s been an NPR piece about fans’ discontent over Magic 30th Anniversary Edition. I’m happy to see the news generally penetrating the mainstream, I feel like it makes some form of change more likely.

Although I’m scared that the change might be “We haven’t learned our lesson and we’re doubling down on bad practices.”

i had a few minutes free and itunes already open, the gist is:
  • they did the best they could vetting it
  • vetting entailed asking "what about the environment" and getting wowed by a few powerpoints
  • saw mega-celebrities (who always face consequences for pitching scams) associate with it
  • FTX bought lsv's game
how were we supposed to know the crypto thing was a scam 🤷‍♂️

This set isn't really good for anything. Even as a commander player, there's not really anything pushing the envelope.

I guess the artifact reprints are pretty cool.

There are piles of unsold Metazoo at my LGS because I guess someone mistook a love for cryptids as one for crypto? Which is a shame, because I would be all about a cryptid trading card game.

Yes the cards are functional, but they’re designed to be the most rear end-garbage versions of Un-Set cards, basically. So they look ugly as poo poo and the game itself is poo poo.

Bro limited is fun as poo poo, force W/G/x and go loving ham

Yotian Dissident is a silly card, especially when paired with poo poo that makes power stones on etb and the white enchantment that lets you return permanents to your hand, or Mass Production

Also the huge artifact creatures are incredibly easy to cast because power stones are kinda gonzo actually

Bro draft is as fun as SNC draft was bad

Yeah, I'm going to do this with a custom commander deck I'm making with cards supporting a bear/insect tribal commander.

I'm also making my own probably 60-100 card deck of a goofy art project/comic/game and it's actually not that expensive to get cards printed on demand in medium quantities with decent cardstock, get the cost per deck down surprisingly low at least compared to what I assumed.

Seems pretty split to me, seen lots of folks mad about the bombs being common, but I mean, more chances to get one for yourself. I enjoyed pre-released sealed a bunch and have done a handful on Arena of draft and I've made much better decks than I ever could in Dominaria. Hell, more than once I've managed to make good monocolor decks since a lot of the artifacts are quite playable. Really looking forward to draft this Friday, I feel like it's a lot clearer what kind of deck you're making as you draft. Every week at dominaria I'd end up with some bizarre thing I slapped together at the end while now I feel like I'm deckbuilding as I go more deliberately. and yeah, tons of lovely artifacts you only grab when you have to.

Basically everyone in their community told them it was a scam and they did it anyway. It does sound like LSV is taking a hit in the pocket from the collapse though. He was literally in business with them lol

Lore-wise it's hard to get new players to care about the Brothers' War aside from telling them that Urza and Mishra are responsible for everything. I grew up playing Magic and couldn't tell you who anyone was.

Powerstones had no excitement behind them because they were tied to a planeswalker from last set that people were hyped for but turned out to be a massive shrug.

This is the first set in years I haven't told my LGS to hold cards for me. I'm very excited about Jumpstart cards so I know it's not just apathy towards Magic. There are a lot of good reprints that brought some price relief.

It's got middle-set syndrome from the three-set-block era; Dominaria United was great, and everyone's waiting for the next set, but this is just everything moving into place.

It's not a bad set, and I like the limited format so far, but it's got a lot of anti-hype things going against it.
